Headband Flower Wraps

Don't you LOVE Pinterest! I love the inspiration. I love when I see something, actually make it, and it turns out great! Love it.
Recently, I saw these cute Vintage Wrap-Knock-off Belts. Well, I really wanted to make headbands for my daughter and niece. So I used THIS fabulous tutorial, but just changed it up a bit to make a headband rather than a belt.

I first made a template out of a cereal box. I brought in one side where I planned to add the elastic. I made the template 2 1/4" wide, and then long enough to almost wrap around my daughter's head. You'll need 2 pieces of fabric this size.

I followed the tutorial I found on Pinterest, only, when sewing the two pieces right sides together, I added a small strip of elastic.

When They were done, this is how the elastic looked on the back:

I had a hard time choosing which was my favorite. I really Loved how they turned out!

The best part is that my daughter actually leaves them in--which she doesn't do with bows or flowers. Hooray! I call that a victory.

About Me

Hello! I am glad you stopped by. This is my little craft blog. I've never considered myself a "crafty" person, but I have found crafting keeps me sane and provides the "me" time that I need aside from being a mother, wife, & housekeeper. So while I may not be the craftiest person myself, I have learned to learn from other great crafters! When I first began crafting, I felt like the great Copycat Crafter, because I was always finding great ideas online from Pinterets {love} and blogs. But, now I find that while I still find great ideas online, I also have some creative juices of my own. It is so rewarding to envision something and see it come to be! So, whether you are a beginner or an expert crafter, I hope you find something you too can copycat or use for yourself!
